Bright, healthy dart frogs start with balanced nutrition. For years, keepers have relied on complex supplement schedules — one day calcium, another day vitamin A, every other weekend SuperPig for colour. It works in theory, but in practice, it’s easy to get wrong. Powders lose potency over time, mixing ratios are unclear, and frogs end up with uneven nutrition.

That’s why we created the Frogfather All-in-1 Vitamin & Mineral Dust — a measured, complete supplement blend that replaces multiple tubs and guesswork. One dust, one dose, perfect balance every time.

Why Rotations Go Wrong

Traditional supplement routines rely on a rotation system: calcium every feed, vitamins twice a week, pigment enhancers fortnightly, and vitamin A monthly. It’s a lot to remember, and even experienced keepers struggle to maintain consistency. Miss a dose, repeat one too soon, or use an old product past its potency window — and your frogs don’t get what they need.

Most powdered supplements also degrade quickly once opened. Moisture and air exposure reduce vitamin A activity within weeks, while pigment compounds like carotenoids oxidise and fade. The result? You may be dusting diligently, but your frogs still aren’t absorbing the full nutritional profile you intended.

The Smarter Way to Feed

Our All-in-1 Vitamin & Mineral Dust combines the key components of calcium, essential vitamins, trace minerals, and pigmentation enhancers into a single, shelf-stable formula. Each scoop delivers a carefully balanced ratio optimised for dart frogs, tree frogs, and other small insectivores — no calendars, no confusion, and no potency loss from half-empty tubs sitting on the shelf for months.

Simply dust your flies or springtails before feeding as usual. Every meal provides the same precise nutrient balance, so your frogs stay bright, strong, and healthy all year round.

The Science Behind Colour and Health

Dart frogs don’t produce their dazzling colours on their own — those pigments come from their diet. In the wild, they consume a variety of tiny insects rich in carotenoids and trace minerals that enhance their blue, yellow, and orange tones. In captivity, those same nutrients must be provided through supplementation. Too much of one nutrient or too little of another can dull colours, stunt growth, or weaken immune response.

The All-in-1 Vitamin & Mineral Dust provides balanced amounts of calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A and D₃, essential B-complex nutrients, and natural colour enhancers. This harmony keeps bones strong, skin vivid, and metabolism stable — three keys to long-term health in dart frogs, mantellas, and tree frogs alike.

Why an All-in-1 Formula Works Better

• ✔ Consistent Nutrition — Each feed delivers the same balanced dose of calcium, vitamins, and minerals without needing a rotation chart.
• ✔ Maximum Freshness — Single-jar storage reduces exposure to air and humidity, preserving potency for months longer than open multi-product routines.
• ✔ Improved Absorption — The fine, electro-bound powder adheres evenly to fruit flies, springtails, or micro-crickets for reliable nutrient uptake.
• ✔ Brighter Pigmentation — Includes natural carotenoids and micronutrients to intensify colour without artificial dyes.
• ✔ Simpler Shelf — Replace three or four separate supplements with one jar that does it all — less clutter, less confusion.
• ✔ Safe Ratios — Each batch is pre-measured to amphibian-specific requirements, removing the risk of overdosing vitamin A or D₃.

Designed for Modern Vivariums

Frogfather’s nutrition range was engineered alongside our 3D-printed vivariums and automated systems to make amphibian care truly seamless. The All-in-1 Dust pairs perfectly with the Frogfather Auto-Feeder — an automatic feeding system that gently releases fruit flies through a supplement chamber.

Because the Auto-Feeder is designed to fit standard 32 oz deli-cups, you can load your existing cultures directly. As the flies exit, they naturally walk through a fine layer of the All-in-1 Dust, ensuring every meal is evenly coated without any manual shaking or waste. It’s precision feeding made effortless — the ideal combination of smart design and complete nutrition.

Results You Can See

Within weeks of switching to a consistent All-in-1 diet, keepers report richer colouration, improved feeding response, and smoother skin. Breeding groups often show better fertility and faster tadpole development thanks to stable vitamin A levels and correct calcium balance. Most importantly, your frogs maintain those vivid hues year-round without needing multiple tubs of powders or complicated schedules.

How to Use the All-in-1 Dust

Using the Frogfather All-in-1 Vitamin & Mineral Dust couldn’t be simpler. Place a small pinch of powder into a cup, add your feeder insects, and gently swirl until they’re evenly coated. Feed immediately so the nutrients remain active. For automated setups, spread a thin layer of dust inside the exit corridor of your Frogfather Auto-Feeder and let the system do the work — every fly that walks through will emerge perfectly dusted.

Store your supplement jar in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. The blend is designed for long-term stability, so you get consistent potency from the first scoop to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I still need to rotate other supplements?

No. The All-in-1 Dust replaces multiple products like SuperPig, Calcium Plus, and Vitamin A rotations. It contains a balanced ratio of all key nutrients, removing the need for a supplement schedule.

2. How often should I use it?

Lightly dust every feed — small, frequent doses work better than heavy, occasional ones. Because the blend is balanced, it’s safe for daily use with no risk of vitamin build-up.

3. Can it be used with fruit flies and springtails?

Yes. The fine powder adheres perfectly to Drosophila hydei, D. melanogaster, and springtails. It can also be used for small crickets or isopod snacks.

4. What species benefit most from this blend?

It’s ideal for dart frogs, tree frogs, mantellas, and other small insectivores that rely on regular feeding and bright pigmentation. The formula supports bone strength, vivid colour, and skin health in all these groups.
